Market Operating Hours and Hotspots

Different parts of the Boston Metro Area have different operating hours. Hotspots are located where DoorDash expects an especially high-order volume. Dashers are more likely to receive an order if they are closer to the restaurant from which a customer orders. Please refer to your DoorDash Dasher app for the latest!

Scheduling

You can schedule when you want to dash up to six days in advance. New dash schedules are released on a rolling six-day schedule at 10:00 AM. For example, the schedule released on Tuesday morning is for the following Monday.

You also have the option to “Dash Now” if there are remaining spots available, or if an area is particularly busy. Pro tip:Maximize earnings by dashing at peak meal times. Lunch: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Dinner 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM.

Dasher Pay

Regular DeliveriesDashers are paid per order. Pay can vary based on the time, distance, and complexity of an order. For instance, a 5 mile order will usually pay more than a 2 mile order. We do our best to ensure that dashers are paid fairly. For more details, please see our New Dasher Pay Model FAQs.

DoorDash Drive DeliveriesDrive orders are some of our most important deliveries – therefore, we only offer these opportunities to top dashers. Once you qualify, you will receive an in-app invitation, and you’ll be able to see these orders in advance. Drive orders are traditionally larger and may require more time to complete – but they also have higher associated minimum guaranteed earnings. For more information on DoorDash Drive, click here.

Additional FAQ

What if I have an issue or run into a problem with an order while on a dash? Support is available both in the Dasher app during a dash as well as on the web at doordash.com/help.

My app isn't working, what do I do? Please make sure you are on the latest version of the app, which can be found in the Google Play Store (Android) or at this link (iOS). Once you confirm the app is updated, restart your phone and log back in. If you are still having issues, please visit doordash.com/help to submit a support request.

Do I have to wear my DoorDash t-shirt or use any DoorDash supplies?While we do not require you to wear your red DoorDash shirt or use a hot bag/blanket, certain restaurants may require that you do so. This will typically be indicated in the instructions for each order, if applicable. Keep in mind, merchants have the right to refuse a pickup if you do not have the necessary supplies – and it never hurts to be over-prepared! Wearing your DoorDash shirt also makes you more identifiable to the restaurant and to the customer, which allows you to complete deliveries faster. Faster deliveries = more deliveries = MORE $$$!
